Hmm, very interesting. There is nothing about this on the offical Army news site. I've never heard of this newsday, so I guess it falls in with "other" sources. A search only brings up news sources that I have never heard of, does not mean they are not credible, BUT, it seems to be the same story, and nothing else to back it.
Anyhow, General Order Number 1 over there is.
"There will be no alcoholic consumption of any type by any memeber of the Armed Forces of the United States of America."
So, for those of you who have possibly sent stuff to that region, this is a General Officer Order, which is punishable by General Officer Court Martial. Which means jail, dishonorable discharge, felony record, and the list goes on.
Did it happen? Don't know, there is nothing on the offical Army channels at the moment, nor on any major news link.
Could it happen? Yes, these are your sons and daughters over there, doing 12 month tours, most are active duty, a few are reserve and guard.
My question is, where did the alleged beer come from?
